I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computing, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad where I lead the Computing for Secure and Intelligent Networks group (COSINE Lab). Previously, I was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad campus and SRM University-AP, Andhra Pradesh, India. I received MS (2014) and PhD (2021) in Computer Science from IIT Kharagpur. During 2021-2023, I was an ERCIM Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Informatics and Telematics (IIT) of the National Research Council (CNR), Italy and a research consultant at Department of Information Engineering, University of Pisa, Italy. My current research interests are in applying AI/ML techniques for IoT and future networks. Specifically, I am working on designing intelligent solutions for Edge and Non-Terrestrial Networks, Wirelessly Powered IoT, 6G Networks, Edge-Cloud-Continuum, and Digital Twin.
Till date, I have received more than 1 Crore INR research grants sponsored by Govt. of India and private organizations. I am a Senior Member of IEEE (SM’23) and was 2016 IEEE Richard E Merwin Student scholar. In 2013, I won the GE Edison Challenge with INR 10 Lakhs. Currently, I serve as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Green Communication and Networks and Scientific Reports (Springer Nature) journal, and I also act as a reviewer for numerous IEEE Transactions and journals. I regularly serve as a TPC member and in the organizing committee of various reputed international conferences. You can find more about me on Web of Science Portal and Vidwan portal.
